Following the passing of Reds forward Diogo Jota, Liverpool have delayed some players’ return to pre-season training on Friday.
As part of a phased return, those who were scheduled to return from their summer break on Friday for a preliminary round of physical exams at the club’s training ground will now do so on Monday.
On Sunday, July 13, Liverpool’s squad plays Preston North End for their first pre-season game.
Jota, 28, and his 25-year-old brother Andre Silva tragically perished in a car accident.
Both men passed away on Thursday at around 00:30 local time, according to The Guardia Civil.
Jota was taking a car and ferry from Liverpool to Liverpool as doctors had advised him against flying because he had undergone minor surgery.
